Nihon wo Tasukete!!! Help Japan!!! Super Hero Time!!! [Updating!]

Join the cause, help the heroes, BE one of the heroes.

On March 11th, disaster struck Japan... she was struck with an earthquake of Magnitude 8.9, causing destruction, deaths, despair and causalities. As a result of the earthquake a Tsunami was created which subsequently swept across numerous areas of Japan. That earthquake was the largest earthquake in a 140 years for Japan and one of the seven largest earthquakes the world has ever seen, with the other 6 in other low populated areas...

The current death toll is at an estimated 10,000, with 'bout 215,000 people reached shelters.

This was one news that no one was mentally prepared for, no one would have known that it would have happened with the small scale tsunami the day before.

The day started out good, with an 'Ohaiyo!' to Mr.S, he was unboxing the new stuff that came in, the school March holidays had begun, I hung out at Custom Workz Headquarters as I had some unfinished projects. Everything was going so so well until the first earthquake happened and everyone got shocked by the disaster.

If there's any sad news that I've heard, it's this, it's devastating how things can happen without people knowing and then lives are lost, people get injured and an average day just turns upside down in just a few moments...

I'm praying for the safety all my friends who're in Japan right now, really wish I could have done more...

Either way goes, Red Cross has also started gathering donations, so here goes- Okay latest info from Mr.Yellow told everyone that the money that was supposed to go to the Haiti people didn't reach them. Red Cross (as much as I hate to say it) didn't gave the money to them. So I suggest to NOT touch the Red Cross Site for donations. Better be safe then sorry.

Some of the recognized celebrities who have reached safety are Sato Takeru [Nogami Ryoutarou, Kamen Rider Den-O], Nana Mizuki, the members of SCANDAL and the group AAA, Sakurada Doori [Nogami Koutarou, Kamen Rider NEW Den-O] and the cast of Kamen Rider OOO(Ozu) and Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger has also reached safety, more on the list above.

-NUCLEAR MELTDOWN SUSPECTED!-

A post from Sankaku Complex warned everyone that a nuclear reactor in Fukushima Perfecture has been suspected of entering meltdown:

"A nuclear reactor in tsunami crippled Fukushima prefecture is suspected of having entered meltdown, and radioactive material has been released into the atmosphere during the incident.

After the quake caused the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant’s Reactor #1 to automatically shut down as it was designed to, the emergency core cooling system apparently failed to engage as it not only lost main power, but also lost its backup diesel generator power due to the tsunami’s effects.

With no cooling possible and reactor temperature and pressure rising, Japan’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency announced they suspected a reactor meltdown was in progress, and confirmed that radioactive material had already been released into the atmosphere during the incident.

They have reportedly since managed to begin lowering reactor pressure and bring the situation under control, though at the expense of further leakage of radioactive material.

People living within a 10km radius of the plant, some 50,000 in all, have been evacuated or put on evacuation standby, whilst army units have arrived at the plant to assist in controlling the reactor.

Japan’s nuclear plants provide a third of the nation’s electricity and are designed to be earthquake proof; their safety record has generally been good (although several scandals relating to fraudulent or lax inspection have helped call this into question), but after this incident it is likely operators will be facing some difficult questions.

The event has already been likened to America’s 1979 Three Mile Island accident, in which a meltdown caused by poor design and a series of unlikely failures in combination gave rise to a small amount of radioactive leakage and a great deal of media panic."

Update: Nuclear Operators are risking their lives in bringing down the core temperatures of the nuclear reactor.

If this get's any worse the people of Japan might be really facing radioactive dangers, may god save them from the horrors. They've suffered way enough to be faced with a nuclear threat.
